Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1278 - 22: Summoned Qualification

At this point, they actually knew they had no power to resist, but still knelt down, hoping for a chance to live.

"You want to live? Fine, only one of you can survive, so figure it out yourselves."

Zhou Yan said indifferently.

This sentence was extremely cruel and merciless.

Only one person can live, which means the rest will die!

These Heavenly Hearts, who were alive, were originally teammates in a team, each one was a teammate to the others, someone they could entrust their backs to.

When Zhou Yan said these words, the result was either that all these people would go mad and kill Zhou Yan, giving up this only chance of survival, or they would kill each other instead!

When Zhou Yan made this decision, he actually did give them a glimmer of hope for survival. However, Zhou Yan analyzed in his heart that, even though these people knelt for life was somewhat incompetent, it is indeed normal to do so for survival, abandoning dignity is not unacceptable, but if they kill each other, then everyone must die. However, if they instead unite and do not kill each other, then at least these people still have some sense of unity, and they can survive.

But this answer from Zhou Yan’s heart, he naturally would not give.

And these Heavenly Hearts made even the last trace of hope in Zhou Yan’s heart disappear.

At the moment Zhou Yan uttered those words, everyone almost immediately erupted into violence, killing the companions next to them.

How could such Heavenly Hearts truly survive?

However, among these Heavenly Hearts, two people did not make a move, instead rushing towards Zhou Yan with righteous indignation.

Unfortunately, even though they had no intention to kill, had unity at heart, as they charged at Zhou Yan, their companions mercilessly pierced their heads, their chests, their abdomens with brutal weapons.

The scene was so tragic, even far exceeding the level of tragedy if Zhou Yan had acted, eventually, of the remaining group of about thirty, only two severely injured Heavenly Hearts survived. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Then, the other Heavenly Hearts all died.

Died without closing their eyes.

Some didn’t even hate Zhou Yan in death, nor did they feel fear or despair, merely looking at the companions who killed them with lonely, painful eyes—a gaze filled with disbelief, incredibility, pain, sorrow, and despair, incredibly complex emotions.

In such a small group, the ugliness of human nature was displayed vividly.

And those Heavenly Hearts who didn’t massacre their companions were also killed by their companions, Zhou Yan did not help them.

To have no intention to harm others is fine. But without a defensive heart, that is not acceptable.

In such a treacherous environment, not knowing even this, might allow one to survive now, but surely leads to death in the future.

Zhou Yan had witnessed too many similar experiences; his heart had become numb.

The last two alive were covered in blood, blood oozing from all orifices, yet they finally gained the hope of survival.

However, neither had the strength to act in the end, and only one could survive.

Zhou Yan didn’t act again, as the Demon Hearts had already arrived.

A large amount of tree bark slime came charging wildly, engulfing the two severely injured Heavenly Hearts who were still alive.

And then, nothing followed.

Not even a scream was heard, what little power they had left was no match for the mighty tree bark slime Demon Hearts.

The scene already surpassed what could be described as hell, yet Zhou Yan’s Qi Blood was calm, a faint Purple Flame burning on him, all tree bark slime monstrous creatures dare not approach, and all eyed Zhou Yan warily.

But Zhou Yan did not attack, did not kill these tree bark slime evil demons, instead quietly walked through this world.

Even these tree bark slime evil demons, although wanting desperately to devour Zhou Yan, dared not approach him.

On Zhou Yan, not only was there the aura of Purple Flame, but also the even more terrifying Merit Creation Power, this power was simply the absolute nemesis of Demon Hearts.

This power to the Demon Hearts seemed absolutely suppressive, extremely frightening, and a trace could make Demon Hearts dissipate into smoke.

But this power, due to its karmic ties with Merit Creation Power, Zhou Yan would not wantonly use it to kill Demon Hearts.

Just like Karma in Buddhist teachings, it is very peculiar.

And using this power on himself, Zhou Yan had enough merits and Qi Fortune to withstand, so he was equivalent to being Invulnerable.

Of course, this power was ineffective against extremely powerful Demon Hearts, as being strong enough would neutralize such transformations.

Zhou Yan didn’t overthink; at this point, he didn’t want to act, not because he couldn’t kill these Demon Hearts or because killing them was meaningless, but because all of this related to his prior Enlightenment.

He mysteriously unlocked combinations of various Fragment Secret Skills, unleashed a mighty Sword of Will, causing his Qi Blood to erupt, sensing a transformation in the Emperor Patterns of Qi Blood, thus nurturing a brand new idea in his mind.

The power of technology can create Mechanical Puppets, comparable to Immortal beings, extremely terrifying, capable of self-evolution and improvement.

This is dependent on the body’s evolution capabilities and the rules of evolution.

So why is it that the evolution of machines and the capabilities of chips continually surpass the Human Clan, achieving overwhelming dominance in the Soul Burying Starfield?

Zhou Yan initially did not know the reason, but now he truly does.

Just before, Zhou Yan unraveled this conundrum and understood the deep-seated cause.

The reason lies in Zhou Yan’s understanding of bloodlines.

Bloodline Power can be described as the composition of the world’s power and Rule Power within the bloodline.

A world, a cell, essentially they are the same, both containing Rule Power.

Rule Power is akin to the potential of the body.

In critical moments of life, ordinary people will suddenly burst out with terrifying strength; this is potential.

When life faces threats, it erupts the World Rule Power of the cells, obtaining the Sovereign Strength to command the Endless Worlds.

This is the rule that governs the Starry Sky.

Consider the Starry Sky as a human body, with the various planets inside as the body’s cells, and the Life Energy within the planets as the particles within cells.

Each particle possesses the Rule Power within cells, but the Rule Power within cells influences the Life Energy of the entire Starry Sky.

Once some of these cells completely perish, the Starry Sky will gradually become incomplete.

When the annihilation and regeneration of cells form a kind of balance, the Starry Sky gains the qualification for Eternal Life.

But this qualification can be broken; that’s when the level of regeneration and destruction of cells is no longer consistent.

Once inconsistent, the state of Eternal Life is broken, slipping out of this rule.

A cell itself also has division and proliferation.

One cell divides into two, with two identical lives subsisting simultaneously; one dies, one continues to divide. Achieving a change that remains as one, that is Eternal Life.

If the division speed slows, and the death speed accelerates, that signifies impending extinction.

And every change within each cell corresponds to rules, combining rules and bloodline forms the Sealing of Emperor Patterns.

The human body is like the Starry Sky, the Starry Sky possesses vast strength, and so does the human body.

Swallowing the Star River in one gulp, slaying all living things with one sword, Emperor Lei Yan mastered the fragmented Immortal Power of the Soul Burying Starfield, possessing such ability, which explains everything.

Therefore, the Cultivation of the human body is actually the process of unlocking the shackles of bloodlines, continually pursuing the Transformation of bloodlines to reach Eternal Life.

The King above Eternal Life, that should be the process of destroying Eternal Life, truly eradicating the process of disappearance; then, if a cell does not die and can continuously proliferate, that would not just be Eternal Life, but Endless reproduction.

This is the Realm of the King above Eternal Life.

Zhou Yan initially understood nothing, not even comprehending everything about the so-called Eternal Nine Rules, all by understanding through the traces of the Tao, but considering through the Mechanical Clan, through aspects of chips and genes, he suddenly Ming Wu of everything.

And this realization was wholly aligned with the truth; even if Zhou Yan did not know the answer, he knew this result was definitely very accurate!

This point is beyond doubt!

This point, Zhou Yan is even very certain and very sure!

With this result, Zhou Yan seemed to achieve Enlightenment, instantly breaking through the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm, not to mention his Realm at that moment seemed to have unlocked several bloodline bindings within his body.

These bindings had already been unlocked during Emperor Lei Yan’s era, and now Zhou Yan unlocked a portion once more.

Moreover, this portion more pertains to the understanding of strength regarding rules, and after Zhou Yan unlocked it, his Realm instantly broke through the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm.

Rule Power and the unknown power between Heaven and Earth flooded into Zhou Yan’s body as if being crowned in that moment, and Zhou Yan simultaneously with one sword slew Su Qin and Zhang Yu’s Vitality Power, through destroying their Soul Sea and their bloodline Creation Space nodes, in an instant devoured their Spirit Qi Blood Power.

So, when one sword was released, the two did not bleed, but they were beyond dead.

Even the energy of bone hardness was drained, instantly turning to powder.

That powder was the impurities within the body.

All the rest, owned by them, were extracted through Zhou Yan’s mastery of energy and annihilation of their Soul Sea’s natural rules, hence adding the unknown Heavenly Dao Aura Tao breath coronating, Zhou Yan instantly entered the Eighteenth Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm!

This was a terrifying leap, an instantaneous enhancement in strength crossing nine layers!

This is purely a miracle among all miracles within Heaven and Earth.

And at the moment Zhou Yan crossed into the Eighteenth Layer of the Sea of Suffering Realm, a light suddenly descended on Zhou Yan’s forehead.

At that moment, in others’ eyes, Zhou Yan seemed to freeze in place, like a halo of light in beautiful colors, the sound of Great Dao Resonance appearing around Zhou Yan.

But in reality, at that moment, Zhou Yan gained the qualification of the ’Summoned’ ahead of time.
